Album Stream: Pretty Lights – “A Color Map of the Sun”

Pretty Lights new album “A Color Map of the Sun” is available for purchase July 2nd, but Derek Vincent Smith is kind enough to leak the full album stream now for everyone to listen. “A Color Map of the Sun” is five years in the making and Smith’s first album fully composed entirely of his own originally produced music. The recordings were pressed as samples to vinyl and then mixed using modular synthesis. Why would he do something so difficult? Well, that’s the point:

“I was trying to think of something that would be a massive challenge for myself and just a really cool project. I wanted to also prove to myself I could do it.” – Derek Vincent Smith
